Our Ithaka

Ithaka, a poem oft-paraphrased and quoted in Greece, is over 100 years old now. It's language brings us back not just one century, but over 1,000 years, to the Homeric writings of the Odyssey. The poem, though, is of timeless essense relating to life and expectations, to goals and hopes, to the distinction between where one thinks he/she is going and to how, in the end it is the journey that perhaps matters more than the destination.

"Our Ithaka" is simply our story of our travels, our lives, and our adventures. We hope that this is the first of many such postings, some long, some shorter. It will be of this and that, of little things or big. For what it's worth, here is the beginning of our journey to Our Ithaka...
